Here is your opportunity to own The Gilded Palace of Sin album from The Flying Burrito Brothers.  This was the very first studio album from The Flying Burrito Brothers.  Gram Parsons would go on to record one more album with the Burritos before leaving to start his solo career.  This album is one of very first to feature the genre style of country rock.  This LP includes six original compositions from Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman.  It also includes two original compositions from Gram Parsons and Chris Ethridge.  If you have never heard this album, you owe it to yourself to hear it on vinyl.  It is one of my all time favorites and I highly recommend it.  Rolling Stone Magazine ranked The Gilded Palace of Sin 192nd out of the top 500 albums of all time.  This LP is the very 1st pressing on A&M Records from 1969.  This album continues to grow in value and scarcity as time passes.  This particular LP has AM-SP 4249-1 as the matrix number etched in the dead wax, on side one.  Side two of the LP has AM+SP 4250-1 etched on the dead wax.  The vinyl is in Excellent/Very Good Plus condition.  The LP has some hairline scratches and paper scuffs on each side.  Side two has a few more blemishes than side one.  The blemishes have little to no affect on the playback.  The sound on the playback is Excellent.  The LP labels are very clean with only a few faint spindle marks on each side.  The LP cover is in Excellent Condition.  The album cover has some light ring wear on the front.  The seams and spine all have some light wear.  The top and bottom seams have very minor wear.  The spine has some minor cracking, but the title is still 100% legible.  I have taken pictures to illustrate the condition of the spine.  None of the seams are split.  The corners all have some very slight rounding.  The bottom right corner has a very small crease and the top right corner has staple/pinhole damage.  The staple/pinhole damage is also evident on the backside of the cover.  This album has been professionally cleaned on a VPI 16.5 and will be shipped in a brand new white inner sleeve.  The album jacket will come in a new 3 mil poly sleeve.  The album will be professional shipped in an LP mailer with two 12 inch cardboard inserts.  The LP will be positioned outside of the jacket when shipped.  This album is ready for playing or storage.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I do not ship outside of the United States.  I can combine shipping for multiple auction wins.  Please bid with confidence.
